In the quiet West Texas town of Morrow, offensive guard Michael “Mickey” Vasquez hopes to impress a college football scout at his next game, but his quest for power leads him to commune with an ancient blood god who offers him a sinister deal.

Caleb: 5-star Amazon Reviewer

“Bates provides a fresh take on cosmic horror, using the genre as a means of grappling with both poignant existential concepts and the unsettling — but all too familiar — physical and psychological stresses faced by developing athletes.”

“Elaborate description transports the reader to the town's setting. Inner dialogue of main character creates feeling of watching the story through the character's eyes - like a subjective camera angle in a film. This places the reader directly inside Mickey's unstable thoughts providing both forward momentum for the narrative and thrilling horror for the reader. Highly recommend!”

“The author captures ethereal horror so well. The narrator has a great variation and it flowed so smoothly. Such a fun experience and highly recommend it!”

5-star Amazon Reviewer

“An enthralling experience from beginning to end. An up-and-coming literary talent is revealed in Colin T. Bates’ first foray into the supernatural-horror domain. An episode of your favorite horror anthology series in paperback form.

I originally purchased the audiobook and was enamored by the narrator’s (Madison Niederhauser) performance. I don’t want to get too spoilery, but he convincingly captured the protagonist’s inner turmoil with a sinistrous, yet calming, tone. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to purchase a physical copy - primarily to read along with the narration, but also to display the fantastic cover art.

Please, take my advice… pour a bourbon over rocks, cozy up into your favorite reading spot, grab some headphones, and spend the next hour delving deep down into the world of this entrancing ride - you won’t regret it. Urochok!”

Fast Paced but needed to breathe

Sci-Fi Horror Thriller -Loved it

“This was so fun to consume. I listened on Audible in one go and couldn’t stop as I had to know the ending. This feels very much in the quality and style of some of my favorite authors, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Andy Weir but with an awesome horror twist. I can’t recommend it enough, check it out!”

Eerie and Excellent

“This is one of my new favorite stories. The author, Colin Bates, created a real sense of fear and dread in a brilliant tech-forward setting. I love seeing into the broken mind of the narrator, and the pace was so good. The narrator, Michael Brown, was truly fantastic with each of the voices. It was just a delight.”

5-star Audible Listener

“The King in Circuits requests your attention…”

“In 'Self-Symmetry,' Bates thrusts audiences into a profoundly unsettling - yet immensely entertaining - kaleidoscope of twisted circuitry, bubbling tar, caustic ruminations, and early 2010s cultural reference points. Michael Thompson Brown embodies each of the story’s characters exceptionally, perfectly balancing the humor and horror of the source material. Highly recommended.

5-star Audible Listener

This might spoil it for some…

“It’s a beautiful execution of dread and despair. ‘The King In Yellow’ and ‘I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream’ had a Love child.”
